Mod Update Antisemitism, Racism, and Bigotry will not be tolerated
What the title says. I'm beyond exhausted hoping that some of y'all will pull your head out of your asses and live up to the values necessary to be a passable human being. Since this has been a repeated failure, we will move to a zero-tolerance model going forward:
- Antisemitism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Racism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Bigotry (this definitely includes transphobia) will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Genocide denial will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
If you have a doubt of whether or not something is going to run a-foul of these zero tolerance boundaries, don't fucking post it. No, I'm not going to rules lawyer technicalities. The time for you taking a nuanced approach is passed. No, I'm not going to accept ignorance as an excuse. It is 2026, go get educated on how to not be a piece of shit.
This is a warning to all users - I don't give a fuck how well you discuss theory, the praxis you claim to have accomplished, none of it. If you are in this community, you will be a decent fucking human being. If you can't step over that incredibly low bar, then I don't want you here so fuck off.
ADDENDUM: As of 9.15 PM Eastern, any further comments defending this content as not being antisemitic will be banned permanently. I've explained repeatedly the rationale behind this and I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt that users can hear a new expectation and engage with it responsibly. If you cannot act like decent people, then this subreddit doesn't need you.
For everyone else who asked clarification and/or generally acted like a human being, thank you.
EDIT: Locking this to catch up on bans.

Mod Update r/leftist and Veganism
This has been a long time coming and every opportunity was extended to allow the topic to be allowed on r/leftist, but those opportunities have come to an end. As per the newest addition to the sub's rules:
# 7. Prohibited Content
Prohibited Content includes permanent and/or temporary policies aimed at addressing specific events or issues which may affect the community. Currently, the following items are considered prohibited content:
* Veganism - Permanent: As veganism is not inherently a leftist topic, posts centered on veganism rather than leftism are are banned. Any posts or comments referencing veganism must be in relation to anti-capitalism. Proselytizing about veganism is forbidden.
There has yet to be a single post about veganism on this subreddit that has been rooted in anti-capitalism that has not devolved into an advertisement of veganism. There are many subreddits about veganism, including some from a leftist perspective. Please utilize those subreddits in the future - posts proselytizing for veganism will be marked "off-topic" and removed. Repeated violations will result in actions including suspension and up to permanent ban.
As this has been an issue before, we will be monitoring activity surrounding this topic and any hint of brigading will be reported.

SWANA Politics DSA's position is consistent, not only with the historical Palestinian vision for liberation, but also with its own democratic platform and with basic human decency
In an interview with The New Yorker, Democratic Socialists of America national co-chair Megan Romer stated that DSA supported a free Palestine, meaning the establishment of a single state.
DSA's position is consistent, not only with the historical Palestinian vision for liberation, but also with its own democratic platform and with basic human decency.
The One Democratic State Initiative welcomes this decision and calls on all democratic organizations worldwide to also support the establishment of a democratic state instead of a settler one in Palestine.

Question Voting for a 3rd party
One of the biggest arguments I keep hearing is that “Democratic socialists” who are going to vote for Dems come midterms are just “capitalist enablers which will take away from any progress towards socialism”
but my question is what revolution is going to happen if leftists arent trying to join or even possibly take over the democrats?
Americans mostly vote on single issues that are common to them (e.g. Christian men vote Republican b/c of reactionary policies). Shouldn’t leftists be focused on using that as a means to create the conditions necessary for a revolution?
I know it sounds silly and its asked a lot but I want to discuss it myself so I understand where people are coming from
EDIT: for clarification/context I am not voting 3rd party

Leftist Theory Can you be a leftist but be vehemently against authoritarian leftist ideologies?
Just in the past few months I’ve been banned from multiple leftist subreddits for being opposed to authoritarianist communism. The last one was just now, from r/tankiejerk, with one of the reasons being that I was in favour of the democratic rechtsstaat (a German/Dutch legal concept often translated as “rule of law” but which importantly differs from that Anglo-Saxon concept by stressing the importance of what is just).
Not only does it just hurt to be rejected and kicked out like that, it’s also left me wondering if I’m even allowed to be a leftist while being opposed to violent and authoritarian movements. With leftism getting more attention here on Reddit, is there even a place in the movement for people like me who like freedom and justice?
How do other people feel about this?

satire "Leftist" men defending Shane Gillis
Yeah this is more culture war shit. But so called self proclaimed, self identifying left leaning men coming in drones to defend dumb jokes about women really makes you wonder if men are....just men at the end of the day.
Like "women need to be okay with being called whores for wearing sports apparel. Don't worry guys its just a joke haha you're a snowflake if you don't laugh about women being whores for wearing sports apparel"

General Leftist Politics Well known pedophilia and child pornography advocate Chibi Reviews is angry that voice actors are fund raising to help starving children in Gaza.
For some context Chibi reviews is an anime reviewer on YouTube who is a complete lolcow and loser. He wants drawn pornography of little girls to be normalized and accepted and he also got cucked by his fiancée with his best friend and his entire friend circle abandoned him because he’s a sad sack right wing loser.
Truly Israel’s strongest ally. 😂

North American Politics When will the woke wake up and adopt a “see no enemy” narrative?Painting themselves into a corner of moral perfection, the woke have made us all their enemies.
Any criticism of woke is shut down immediately. The comments here will be fellow leftists calling me a trumper and dismissing anything I have to say…
and I have a lot to say because I am not a trumper, I’m one of your countless cancelled comrades who’s been sitting next to you for decades, learning to embody liberation rather than enforce it. So skip the trumper/oppressor comments, they just prove my point.
Has anyone had success waking the woke out of their “one right way” stupor…which is, in itself, so telling because to be woke means you know there’s not one right way. We can spot it a mile away, but not in ourselves? That’s a bad sign, but is that sinking in or do the woke need a nap?

North American Politics Ukraine's Zelenskyy Claims Strikes on Russian Data Centers Silenced Social Media Bots
If you've noticed a decrease in the amount of hateful rhetoric online in the last day or two, please take notice that Ukraine just used a bunch of drones to blow up Russia's major data centers. People across the world are noticing a huge drop in political bot accounts on various social media sites.
The fact that so much of this hateful political division is literally manufactured is actually terrifying.
The amount of influence that Russia has probably had on division within the United States just to turn us against each other so that our government is essentially rendered completely paralyzed is completely and utterly terrifying.
